LOL @ the second pic. Everyone’s doing that Jay/Lil Mama pose now haha.
she is so fly ! love this woman ! she is strong and beautiful, i hope i can be like that when i m 40 !
i love her!!!! now she could SING….unlike rihannas and these other chicks who think they could just rely on fashion and takin their clothes off for the camera! mary keep doin your thing i will never get tired of your music!!!!!!!
Jasmine….ok now hate on it : )
happy for her longevity but not really her new look….
Mary’s live performances are always great but like I said – not using this new single and any of the snippets I’ ve heard either from the new album.
Mary is so great ive hears some of the album its a masterpeice for real loving Mary keep up the good work support Mary new album drops DEC 21
When I first glanced at this picture and without reading, I thought it was Chrisette Michelle… I think it was the hair.
Either way, both beautiful women.
can’t wait mary
Love U MARY! I support all of what you do.
Team MJB!! I will be getting the new album when it drops! Not feeling the catsuit but she does have a nice shape
off-topic- why hasnt this site mention the Golden Globe nominations for Precious?
UMMM.. ..SORRY JAZZYTAMRA BUT, ALTHOUGH MARY IS THE QUEEN SHE DOESNT REALLY HAVE A SUPER AMAZING VOICE HERSELF. SHE’S ALSO KNOW FOR HER “FLY” FASHION THORUGH THE YEARS.
PEOPLE STOP PITTING THESE CELEBRITIES AGAINST ONE ANOTHER, EVERYONE IS FLY IN THEIR OWN REGARD!!!!!!!!!
PEACE OUT!
Mary’s the queen…period. Her swag over the years is amazing. And although she doesn’t have the best, technically trained voice, you can FEEL her unlike some other “singers”. Mary always keeps it 100% Mary, she’s been authentic & raw from the gate. Respect & love.
BTW, 2nd pic is hilarious. I wonder if she’ll do it for the A&E crowd? lol.
@FallBackHaters
you must be very young to think that pose mary is doing was invented by jay-z and/or lil mama. it’s called b-boy/b-girl stance. it’s been out since the 70′s. nothing new. and mary been doing that pose her whole career, lol.
“What’s the 411?” is in the top 5 of my BEST ALBUMS EVER!
@ Sandybox, thanks for clarifiying that for the youngin cuz I was about to. LOL!!
Anyway I love Mary. I’m a ridah NO MATTER what!!!!!!!!
Always fly, Always real, Always the Queen!!!!!
December 21, Stronger withEach Tear in stores!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mary im rootin for u love ………………………..mary…………………………….
i love this woman!
Im so over Mary…I find it strange that when it comes to other artist, everyone says ish like “she needs to switch it up”, “Im tired of seeing her”, “She needs to take a break”……but mary releases albums back-2-back, never switches up her style or music, and has been rockin thigh-high boots for the past decade (ok slight exaggeration)….but she gets a pass becuz she use to do drugs or becuz she’s experienced bad relationships…WTF????
Anyway, she’s beautiful and very sexy. I hate how she sings live, but you can her emotion in her voice. And Mary is just plain ole Mary I guess (*shruggs shoulders)
By the way, Im no hater…”What’s the 411″ was the first cassette tape i ever bought, My Life, Share My World, The BT and G P are all on my Ipod…..
I just Luv Mary! I always listen to the song “The Love I Never Had” it gets me going like a Cup of hot coffee!
Keep doing your thang Mary!
Looking forward to seeing the show and getting the album!!!!
RIP Chris Henry….
if u dont like how she sing live dont watch the show Mary is doing it up…………
I love her w/short hair. I like her songs, not the voice, but the songs
Dead @19!
You do have a point.
Also, how many of these style shows is she going to do? it’s nothing new she can talk about, and it’s to the point that when I hear her talk now, I don’t want to her hear preach and try to make a difference, just sing your damn songs for crying out loud. It’s like each album some channel does one of these VH1-Storytellers-esque show for her the past few years.
@19 and @25 again dont watch it and u want c it…………………
Mary is the bomb !!!!!!
